The Hershey Press 1919-04-24

              The lid was offi cially placed upon winter's
sporting ally, basketball, Tuesday evening
when the Olivets went down to defeat before
the Steelton Big Five in the last game of
the season. The final score was 34-27.
The defeat was a heart breaker for the
Olivets and their loyal supporters. Being
the last game of the season it came as a
poor ending to one of the greatest and most
successful seasons ever accredited to a
basketball team representing the Chocolate
town. That was the second defeat recorded
against them on the home floor , the other
one being at the hands of the fast going
St. Joseph team of Lancaster.
The loca l boys have no kick coming.
They were beaten fairly, by a team that
played better basketball. There is little
doubt but that the Olivets have played
better ball throughout the season than they
¦% did Tuesday evening but that fact does not
take any of the credit from the Steelton
boys, who played a strong, consistent game
throughout , and took advantage of every
misplay of their opponents.
^
,rtThe "game was close during the entire
i^!? contest. At the end of the half , the Olivets
Ssy. were leading their opponents by one point,
p the score being 17-16. The second half
l§- witnessed the best play of the visitors.
|v They started off with a rush and gained
i|v seven points before the locals could get to-
W. gether. The Olivets played desperately
S£ but the lead was too much and Steelton "was
2'- playing thei r best brand of ball.
Both teams were weak on foul shooting.
The Olivets caged only 9 baskets from 20
chances and the Steelton tosser came across
with but 8 of 1G chances.
Every member of the visitors succeeded
in locating the basket at least twice and
they all played a good floor game. Frank,
at center, was a valuable man to his team,
both in shooting and in floor work. Dayhoff
and Killinger also played fast ball.
Clark played the best ball for the Olivets,
registering 13 of their total number of
points Every man missed several easy
shots for the basket at different periods of
the game.
This victory for Steelton evened the
series, the Olivets having defeated them sev-eral
weeks ago on the local floor.

During the second battle of Ypres, April, 1915, when the
tide of German success seemed likely to overwhelm the
Allied forces, Lieut. Col. .Ichn F. McCrae,. of.cthe Canadian
Array, composed and gave to the world that beautiful lyric
of the war, "In Flanders Fields. " The second and last
• stanza follows :
Take up our quarrel with the foe,
To you from falling hands we throw
The Torch. Be yours to hold it high,
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Coincidently the auth or was killed while on active duty
in Flanders, January 28, 1918.
And now we, the people of the United States, are face to
face with that proposition . Shall those who lie in Flanders
Fields have died in vain ? Will the American people stand
by and permit the cry of the dying heroes go- unheeded?
Are we going to take the Torch from the hands of those who
passed in on? ¦ Are we going to finis^the work they so
nobly
and gallantly begun?
The answer will be found in the hearty response with which
the people subscribe to the Victory Loan. In that way
we can best display our eagerness to do our bit.
People of Hershey and Vicinty, will it ever be jsaiiLthat
we failed the boys at a critical tim€? "To every call of
distress that has ever been sent out, the Hershey District
has always made immediate and hearty response. And
Hershey will AGAIN be found at the top of the list answer-ing
the call of humanity and fulfill the duty of the American
public to the boys who fought that democracy might rule
the world.
Already a fairly large percentage of Hershey's quota of
$266,650 has been subscribed. Considerably more is needed
however. Do not wait until tomorrow ; buy a bond today.
We want to go over the top and we do not want to wait
until the last day to answer "present " to the roll call oi
the districts that have fulfilled their obligations.
Remember, aside from the aid you are rendering your gov-ernment
and your boys, you are given an opportunity of
making a safe and sound investment. Five years from date
of issue your money which you are simply LOANING the
government, will be returned, plus a fair rate of interest.
Where is there a better investment?
The Hershey Trust Company will again stand sponser
for your bond which you may redeem by weekly payments
of $1. and $2., provided that 10 percent, of the bond be paid
on the first instalment, unless otherwise arranged.

A box will be placed "lip the hall so that
those who desire to contribute to the Library
fund may thereby be given an opportunity
to do so. As the cause is a .most worthy
one it is believed that a liberal subscription
will be raised.
WAR GARDENS-STILL POPULAR
Although the war is over and many of
the war time customs have disappeared in
the last several months, few people have
given up their' so called "war gardens" and
already great numbers of them are busily
engaged in their recently acquired avoca-tion
. The fine weather and the supply of
rainfall during the present month have
caused these embryo farmers and gardeners
to resurrect their hoes, rakes and miniature
plows. As a result many families will again
be supplied with the products of their own
labor and industry.
The clerks in the Hershey Store aYe work-ing
overtime filling orders for the new
supply of seeds, plants and bulbs which
were received recently. Along with the
gardening, considerable interest seems to he
manifested in poultry raising and from all
indications, the high cost of fowls will cause
but little trouble to many of the people in
this vicinity.
WAR PICTURE TO BE SHOWK EX
INTERESf OF LOAN
As a stimulus in awakening interest, the
committee in charge of the Victory Loan in
Hershey has secured the great Victory Loan
moving picture, "The Price of Peace" which
will be shown in the Central Theatre Thurs-day
evening, May I.
"The Price of Peace" shows the part that
the American troops played in the great
war and many of the scenes are taken on
the actual firing line. It is a five reel pic-ture
and continues for about .one hour and
fifteen minutes.
In addition to the picture, it is probable
that a Red Cross nurse arid a good speaker
will be present, both of whom will give
vivid descriptions of the fighting.
Everyone in the town and. district should
make a special effort to see this wonderful
production. Admission will be free.
SCOUTS LOSE TO ZIMMIES
In the last game of the season for both
teams, the Zimmerman five defeated the
Boy Scouts and captured the series, both
teams heretofore having been victorious in
one game4. The final score was 42-41 and
was just as close throughout as the score
would indicate. It was either team's game
with the lead alternating from* one' side to
the other.
Leib with 9 field goals and Stover with
7, starred for the scouts. .Ed and Winn
played the best game for the Zimmies.
The records of the Scouts for the past
season shows 22 victories to their credit and
5 defeats. Three of these defeats^were^nb
foreign floors. • ,---¦:¦•-
